PURPOSE Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) is a subtype of central nervous system lymphoma. Although this lymphoma is rare, its incidence has tripled in the past 15 years. Currently, the only available model is a murine metastatic malignant lymphoma that occurs after intraperitoneal inoculation of Rev-2-T-6 lymphoma cells into newborn syngeneic mice. The current study was conducted to develop ...

Introduction Macrolides have been considered as potential antineoplastic and immunomodulatory agents. As antineoplastic agents, macrolides show anti-lymphoproliferative effects.[1] Various lymphoid malignancies, such as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma,[2] follicular B-cell lymphoma,[3] diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,[4] Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM),[5] multiple myeloma ...

After curative treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, increased risk of certain solid tumors has been reported. To best of our knowledge this is the first report of metachronous pancreatic adenocarcinoma which developed outside the previous radiation field in a patient with relapse Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Herein we present an 81-year-old female who developed pancreatic adenocarcinoma four yea...

oral cavity t-cell lymphoma occurs rarely. this case report describes a patient with such a tumor. the case was a 75 years old man presented with a painless swelling on his hard palate mucosa. he had suffered from nose- bleeding and nasal obstruction. pathology revealed the presence of a t-cell lymphoma tumor in the palate. though rare, the signs and symptoms of the case suggest that t-cell lym...

esophageal lymphoma is a rare condition, accounting for less than 1% of all gastrointestinal lymphomas. primary extra nodal esophageal lymphoma constitutes less than 0.2% cases of the total esophageal lymphomas. the definition of primary gi lymphoma has differed among authors. the etiology of the disease is unknown, with the role of epstein-barr virus being controversial. the common symptoms of...

  Introduction: Although PET scanning using F-18[FDG] is considered the superior radiotracer for tumnor imaging, Gallium-67 is still in use for some malignancies such as lymphoma and hepatoma. One of the strategies to improve the diagnostic accuracy of Gallium is to perform SPECT which is reported to be more sensitive compared to planar imaging. In this study we compa...

Patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma often present with B-symptoms or hemophagocytosis and generate an anti-tumor immune response. Specific serum cytokine levels or profiles may reflect the tumor burden, non-specific immune stimulation by the tumor or differences in the strength of the patients' anti-lymphoma immunity. We systematically correlated pre...

colorectal lymphoma is an extremely rare disease, representing less than 0.5% of all primary colorectal neoplasms. the disease is usually diagnosed in the advanced stages because of its primary non-specific symptoms. the most common involved site is cecum followed by rectum and ascending colon. diffuse large b-cell lymphoma is a more frequent subtype. although surgical resection is often techni...

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) is an accurate and cost-effective procedure for evaluating salivary gland lesions. Lymphoproliferative lesions may manifest as salivary gland enlargement. We report our experience with 43 cases of reactive and neoplastic lymphoproliferative lesions of the salivary glands evaluated by FNA, including 23 cases of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and 20 neoplastic l...
